| − | Chance Thomas is the only child of Hunter Thomas and Agnes Wea. Born in the Netherlands, Chance has traveled extensively as his father moved from State Department posting to posting: The Netherlands (ages 0~1), England (2~3), India (4~5), and Japan (6 ~ 15). Chance began his study of the martial arts as a child, living in the community of Sakai-machi, Gunma-Ken.

| | | | |
| − | While posted to Japan, Hunter Thomas engaged in a long term affair with the daughter of a local crime lord. Mariko Watanabe and Chance's father lived a secret life for eight years and had a daughter, Yukiko Watanabe. The relationship ended before the Thomas' left Japan and Chance would not learn of his sister until he reached his early 20's ([http://www.rexcelestis.net/wiki/IKY1.ashx Ikkou Yo!]).

| | | | |
| − | The Thomas family returned in the States when he was 15, his parents separating in an amicable divorce shortly after. Chance lived with his mother in Chicago until he turned 17, attending Senn Academy in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood, before moving in with his father and transferring to Roosevelt Academy.

| − | [[File:kidharrier.png|thumb|187px|left|The Kid Harrier costume]]At first, it was easier than he thought. It had taken a shooting at the school. He didn't even know the boy, but Chance held his hand as he died. As a crowd of students looked on, Chance watched a future end. That boy's blood dried on Chance's hands and clothes as the Police questioned him. He participated in the investigation to the fullest. It didn't matter. The police could not bring justice. | + | |
| | | | |
| − | Putting on the mask didn't seem odd. He had been raised by Batman, Daredevil, and others, sliding into that four-color world whenever he needed an escape. His father's posting to Japan when Chance was much younger helped establish a firm and practical knowledge of the martial arts. Sneaking out the bedroom window of his mother's four flat got easier with each outing. Bringing justice took more work, much more effort.

| | | | |
| − | The streets of Rogers Park proved a challenging crucible. Fists and feet shut down dealers and gangbangers, eventually bringing peace to that unknown boy. Chance watched the faces of the teens at Senn Academy brighten as he spent more nights on the streets. A blanket of protection had fallen over the school. The students felt safe. Chance found himself able to sleep a bit more, not bandage his hands so frequently. Then he went to live with his dad and things got a bit more difficult.

| | | | |
| − | It wasn't that the Gold Coast didn't have crime. Living on the 35th floor just didn't facilitate sneaking out a window the same way as his mom's four flat. The kids at his new school didn't need any protection. They had plenty of money, power, or influence to insulate them from the injustice of the streets. He spent nights hopping the "L" and heading north, maintaining a presence in his old Neighborhood.

| − | And then he got caught.
| |
| | | | |
| − | He must have left something out or dripped blood somewhere. As he came in one night from patrol, he found his father waiting there for him. They talked. Chance unburdened himself of his secret, its origin, his obligation; an obligation to the community that his parents had fostered since a young age. His father nodded. His father understood.

| − | "You don't have to do this alone," his father said.

| − | It took months for them to prepare. Chance watched his father commit himself to something for the first time; a much stronger effort than his marriage, Chance mused. While Chance enjoyed the nights out with his "mentor," he balked at accepting financial assistance from his father. Maybe he was channelling for his mother, but Chance didn't feel he needed money. A near thing with a gunshot wound convinced Chance that some Kevlar inserts might be a good idea. Grudgingly, he accepted a small trust drawn up to support and further the pair's heroic activities.

| − | For two years Kid Harrier and The Harrier King hunted in the Chicago night. Together they fought battles on the darker side of the street. Chance worked cases as simple as helping out local shop owners ([http://www.rexcelestis.net/wiki/KHp1.ashx Kid Harrier, Teen Detective]) to tracking a serial killer at his high school ([http://www.rexcelestis.net/wiki/KHRp1.ashx Roosevelt Academy]). During this time, Chance met and became a protégé of Police Detective Edwardo Alejandro, a relationship that would last for years.

| − | Upon meeting Regina Howard by chance one Sunday morning, Kid Harrier felt an immediate affection and affinity. He saw her as a remarkable and attractive young woman with a great sense of humor. That she, like Chance, hit the streets with nothing but their wits, talents, and skills, brought them even closer. This affection grew as they spent more time together and discovered several common interest: a love of Indian food, a belief in social justice, even a shared opinion that rap has pretty much deteriorated since the powerful rhymes of Public Enemy. Chance and [http://www.virtueverse.net/wiki/American_Promise American Promise] dated for several months before the two separated when Regina went to university.

| − | Once Chance graduated high school, it seemed like a good time to lay down the mask. His father decided to head a national campaign. Work and a new girlfriend didn't leave much time for The Harrier King. Heavy coursework and new obligations kept Kid Harrier from the streets. Chance traded time wearing the cape for quiet moments at his cancer-stricken mother's bedside.

| − | The passing of Agnes Wea left Chance without a connection to Chicago. During the summer after her death, he decided to transfer from Northwestern to Millennium City University. He needed a new start, new challenges. Adopting the name Harrier, Chance started to forge a life as an adult in a new location.

| − | With all his travel and experience, Chance maintains an open mind when approaching other cultures and a strong sense of social responsibility. He responds well to change and is usually able to adapt to any social situation. He tends towards tactful bluntness and often asks questions to get to know people better. He seems anxious to learn all he can about the world around him. The sites and capes of Millennium City continue to astound him.

| − | As The Harrier, Chance tends to wade early into combat, seeking out powerful enemies, and sometimes getting in over his head. A former teammate, Semjaza, once remarked that he was indeed well named, given the risks he likes to take. Chance has begun to re-think this approach and started to study more stealthy methods of engaging foes and resolving missions. More and more, Chance has developed new, longer term strategies to combat the source of crime.
